I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily, he will send down his roots like a cedar of Lebanon.His young shoots will grow; his splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.People will reside again in his shade; they will plant and harvest grain in abundance. They will blossom like a vine, and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.

May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the LORD!
